General Information

The Information Technology Shared Services (ITSS) department supports an extensive wireless network that includes the UNT Denton campus, UNT Discovery Park, UNT Dallas campus, downtown Dallas System offices and the UNT Law School.  Service is also provided to Woodhill Square, Kristen Farmer Autism Center, the Rafes Urban Astronomy Center and the Water Research Field Station.

The UNT|System enterprise wireless network accepts 802.11a/g/n. We also support 802.11 ac on the UNT main campus and Discovery Park. The network utilizes state-of-the-art wireless access points capable of handling speeds in excess of 100 Mbps; however, your actual speed and system throughput will vary depending on your location in a building, the number of other people using the network, and the type of equipment you are using.

 - Currently ITSS does not support the following: -

  • ITSS does not support wireless networking in the UNT residence halls. These are supported by Apogee.
  • ITSS does not support wireless networking for the Health Science Center in Fort Worth.
  • Cellphone services are supported by Telecom.
